Iraq / History / Pan-Arab Movement

In 1936 Iraq, under King Ghazi, began to move toward a general alliance with the other nations of the Arab world in forming the Pan-Arab movement. A treaty of nonaggression, reaffirming a fundamental Arab kinship, was signed with the king of Saudi Arabia in the same year. In April 1939 King Ghazi was killed in an automobile accident, leaving his three-year-old son the titular king, as King Faisal II, under a regency.King Ghazi (d. 1939)
